Crimson Shroud - Matsuno's Newest Game

[Zendervai]

It's just creepy.

It has everything to do with telling me absolutely nothing about the games inside the package, or even catching my attention.

This has catched my attention for some time now. I still don't know who would think to do a box art like this... maybe it was made from someone that didn't even knew what a video game was.

[Aeolus]

All I can think of when I gaze upon the box art is that this game is telling me that only it has the brains to rule the galaxy.

Bumpin' in the USA!

Specifically for word on the sequel to a game that hasn't been released yet.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything resembling an RPG in there yet (and probably not likely to either given the hodgepodge mix of game designs that goes into these things).

[Yggdrasil]

Can't find any videos with gameplay, heard that the presentation is nice but the game itself is very tedious.

It has nothing to do with not being badass guy.  It has everything to do with telling me absolutely nothing about the games inside the package, or even catching my attention.  It just doesn't do its job as a cover.

Final Fantasy covers have had nothing but a logo on white background for decades now.

Tales games just have a bunch of characters standing against a white background.

Not that I'm saying it's not good boxart but very few games have boxart that tells you anything about the game, really.

Double Bumpin' in the what is this shit!?

I guess it means if you only wanted one or two games you could get it for cheaper than just having to buy the whole thing, but it also means that there's almost absolutely no reason not to pick up the non-Liberation Maiden/Crimson Shroud beyond idle curiosity.

Yeah, this is probably the better idea, IMO. It almost sounds like they aren't bringing over Aeroporter and that other game anyways.

I seriously want Crimson Shroud right now, though, so this is fantastic news if it turns out to be true.

Welp.

[Yggdrasil]

We are probably not going to know about him for a couple years. Dude always takes long breaks.

[Taelus]

Just picked this up. Anyone else?

[Mickeymac92]

I'll be getting it next week, along with Denpa Men. It'll be a hard wait, though.

[Taelus]

I like it so far. I love the writing, but that surprises me in no way. I'm also glad I played some tabletop RPGs for the first time last year, or some of the game systems would make no sense to me. If you've ever liked tabletop, I think this might make you very happy.

It's out already?

I had no idea, thanks!
